A layover in Kuala Lumpur took us to the worlds largest walk-in aviary. I absolutely love that kind of thing. We were fascinated to realize that most of the exotic birds we were seeing in this fancy zoo were species we have seen in the wild. It was a small reminder of all the placesContinue reading “Alsops in Malaysia”

Alsops in Bali
We had only one day to spend in Bali, Indonesia—so we made the very most of it. We selected three locations we wanted to hit, hired a driver, and were off! But not before Tyler totally kicked a little food offering tray in the doorway. I was literally going to tell him the story whenContinue reading “Alsops in Bali”
Alsops in Kakadu, Down Under
Our second stop in Australia took us down under. Well, we went north actually into Darwin. This area was definitely more like what I imagined Australia to be like although with some major surprises. Every car on the road had a snorkel and often the roads have measuring sticks over 8 feet tall for theContinue reading “Alsops in Kakadu, Down Under”

The Singapore airport is a tourists destination in itself. They take great pride in providing gardens, entertainment, and opportunities for anyone with a boarding pass. It was tempting to just stay in the airport on our long layover and stroll the orchid gardens and find the giant indoor waterfall. But we also wanted to discoverContinue reading “Singapore”
Phuket, Thailand
Thailand was every bit as exotic and enchanting as the pictures I’ve been drooling over for years. Ornate palaces with golden roofs curving up towards the sky like metallic fire were on every corner. I loved Bangkok for the grand palaces and impressive temples. We started our first day in Thailand off with a visitContinue reading “Phuket, Thailand”
Cambodia
Cambodia was like a walk through an Indiana Jones movie. The ancient ruins of Angkor Wat with their intricate forms overtaken with jungle vines felt like and epic adventure. Entire trees 60 feet tall have grown on top of these ruins with their roots covering entryways and extending down the walls. It truly felt likeContinue reading “Cambodia”
